This Easy Zucchini Quiche is perfect for using up some of summer’s best vegetable and is so, so easy to make (especially if you don’t go all out like yours truly and use a store-bought pie crust- I won’t judge, promise!). It requires only SIX ingredients and about 5 minutes of hands-on time. And while it takes a while to cook in the oven, you can serve it at room temperature which means you can make it far in advance of serving (one of my favorite things about quiche)....

WHAT IS KACHUMBER? The Fresh Kachumber Salad with Cilantro is a traditional salad hailing from both North India and Pakistan. The term “Kachumber” derives its meaning from “minced,” implying that the vegetables in this salad are finely chopped or minced for a delightful texture. This delightful Pakistani side dish serves as a fantastic accompaniment to various Pakistani recipes, ranging from Moong Masoor Dal to Chicken Biryani. WHY MAKE KACHUMBER WITH MAIN DISH?...

Everyone should have a “go-to” green salad recipe. This is mine. I’ve made it on countless occasions – ranging from quick weeknight meals to Christmas dinner. The flavors all pair so well together with a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and, tangy. And the textures as well, with the crunch of the pecans and the creaminess of the goat cheese that coats every bite. I usually make this recipe with my creamy maple balsamic dressing....

Are you all set for sides this Christmas? If you are out of ideas or are worried that you will run out of oven space, I have an exciting stove top side recipe for you today. I love green beans and have several green bean side recipes on my blog already (this one and this one), but I felt the need to come up with another. One that does not require an oven!...

WHAT IS PANEER TIKKA ROLL? Homemade Paneer Tikka Roll With Paratha is Paneer Tikka wrapped in fried flatbread (Paratha). This is also known as the famous Paneer Kathi Roll. This is purely an Indian recipe. Although there’s a restaurant named Kathi Roll Company, their Kathi roll are the best. I introduced this beauty and deliciousness of Paneer Tikka Roll with my wife after we got married but there are different types of rolls such as an Anda Roll and Chicken Tikka Roll....

Happy Tuesday, boys and girls! I hope your week is peachy? We are excited as we are finally moving to our own (rented but still…) house this week. Duncan found a job he is very keen on and his health is tip top again, which is a massive load off our minds. I never talked about this on the blog as it was too raw and painful at the time, but Duncan has not been well since April this year....

You get the best of both worlds – at the bottom, the tortillas absorb the delicious sauce, and on top they are crunchy and covered in melty cheese. Once cooked, I top everything with avocado, sour cream, red onion and coriander (cilantro). The freshness of this topping is the perfect complement to the cheesy, tomatoey enchiladas.I also love that this is one of those “hidden veggie” dishes (ideal for little eaters) and I’ve also given ideas for upping the vegetable content even more – try grated zucchini (courgette) or finely chopped mushrooms....

It’s then combined with pearl couscous, feta cheese, mint, pomegranate seeds and slivered almonds. It’s festive and fresh and it’s a nice substantial side that goes with anything – especially glazed ham, which is served widely here in Australia at Christmas. The best thing about this salad is that it can be made ahead of time. The pumpkin and pearl couscous can be prepared up to 3 days prior to your event, so it’s as simple as assembling the ingredients on a big platter on the day and serving at room temperature!...

WHAT IS GINGER CHICKEN? Quick 30-Minute Pakistani Ginger Chicken is chicken breast (boneless) chunks mixed in yogurt, tomatoes, and powdered spices. There are lots of versions of Ginger Chicken but this version originated in Pakistan. This Pakistani dinner recipe is easy and one of kind. The flavor of ginger doesn’t overpowers the taste of this Pakistan recipe but it’s like very subtle mild taste. This is a dry curry type of recipe like Mix Vegetable Curry and Chicken Jelfrezi....

I love how fast and easy these pickled red onions are to make- just add some ingredients to a jar, shake, and refrigerate. That’s it! They’ll last for weeks in the fridge, if you somehow experience the miracle of not eating them all within a few hours. They’re addicting, added to any number of recipes, and frankly eaten plain out of the jar. I wouldn’t THINK of popping a piece of raw red onion into my mouth for a snack, but it’s different when they’re pickled!...

I was planning to make a cake for today as we have something to celebrate, but the weather was soooo lovely over the weekend that I failed to go fruit and veg shopping in time and had to make a meal from what I had in my fridge instead. I know, I sacrificed food for a fresh layer of tan – outrageous 😉 . Instead, I made a simple vegetable stir-fry with spicy tofu and red Thai rice....

This recipe couldn’t be easier. All you do is melt some butter in a pan, add some walnuts, sugars, and cinnamon, and stir until it’s caramelized. Then, allow to cool on a parchment covered baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. So simple! Have you ever made caramel from scratch? If not, have no fear. It can feel a little bit intimidating, but it’s actually very easy and hassle free....

AND, it doesn’t have any added sugar! The sauce is AMAZING. The sweetness of the pineapple is just enough to make a slightly sweet brown sauce, complimented by a hint of spiciness from Sriracha sauce, umami from soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, earthiness from garlic, coriander, and ginger, and acidity from rice wine vinegar. ANDDDDDDD, the whole meal only takes 20 minutes to make! This is the perfect recipe for this busy back-to-school time of year....

My favourite flavours when summer strikes are definitely Asian flavours. I realise it is a generalisation really as Asian cuisine is one of amazing depth and breadth, but there are certain staple Asian ingredients like limes, chilli, ginger, soy sauce, spring onions, lemongrass, coriander, mint that scream summer to me and I like using them in hot summer months. Today’s dish is somewhat inspired by a TV show we’ve been passionately watching....

Who says you need to only have salads to eat healthy (and who wants to eat them when it’s cold outside?)? I keep seeing so many salads out there for healthy recipes for the new year. I love me a good salad… but I don’t exactly crave them in January. Warm, comforting dishes are much higher on my priority list. On my last post, I talked about how only 8 percent of people keep their new years resolutions- I think, partially because they often revolve around depriving oneself of delicious things....

I actually use “wingettes” or “drumettes” for these (also known as “chicken wing flats” or “chicken flats”), rather than regular chicken wings. Wingettes are the flat section cut from the middle of chicken wings, and drumettes are the portion of the wing that’s attached to the chicken. I like to use them as they’re easy to eat and ideal to marinate. Once marinated, and before cooking, the wings can be frozen or refrigerated, ready for when you need them....

It’s been 5 days since I’ve gone on braces and I would be lying if I told you that I am back to normal. I still have not been able to have anything other than ‘baby food’-style food (smooth soups, mash, guac, smoothies, applesauce, ice cream – you get the gist) apart from some chunky homemade chips, which were really hard to eat but the craving got the better of me....
